Benefits of technology

Prevents printing interruptions by notifying users of changes in sheet attributes, allowing them to adjust settings accordingly and maintaining the functionality of the ACC function, ensuring seamless printing operations.

Problems solved by technology

In a printing system having a plurality of sheet feeding cassettes, when executing a print job with the sheet feeding cassette designated, printing may be interrupted if sheet feeding becomes impossible due to running out of sheets of the designated sheet feeding cassette.
Thus, in some cases, it can happen that the user, who has changed the sheet setting previously, cannot make out why he cannot execute printing processing with sheets feeding in accordance with his intention.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0018]A system configuration according to a first exemplary embodiment will be illustrated. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the system configuration of a printing system according to the present exemplary embodiment. In the system according to the present exemplary embodiment, communication is possible between a printer 100 and an information processing apparatus (client personal computer (PC)) 300. In the printing system of the present exemplary embodiment, a plurality of sheet storage units (sheet feeding cassettes) storing sheets are grouped for control.

[0019]In FIG. 1, the client PC 300 inputs a print job into the printer 100 via a network and a network interface (I / F) unit 6. An operating system (OS) is installed in the external memory of the client PC, and a central processing unit (CPU) loads the OS into a random-access memory (RA...

Abstract

A user is notified that the setting of sheets with respect to a grouped plurality of sheet storage units is changed, so that a state becomes impossible to execute switching of the grouped sheet storage units. The control method includes, registering a plurality of sheet storage units each storing a sheet as one group, determining, at the time of sheet supply to any one of the sheet storage units, whether sheet information about the sheet storage unit set in the group has been changed by sheet information newly set with respect to the sheet storage unit to be supplied with the sheet, and a notifying, when it is determined that the sheet information has been changed, the user of the change in the sheet information about the sheet storage units set as one group by the supply of the sheet.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a printing system, a printing system control method, and a storage medium.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In a printing system, a method in which when performing copying or printing, a sheet feeding cassette is explicitly designated, and printing or copying is performed by using a sheet from the desired sheet feeding cassette is known. In a printing system having a plurality of sheet feeding cassettes, when executing a print job with the sheet feeding cassette designated, printing may be interrupted if sheet feeding becomes impossible due to running out of sheets of the designated sheet feeding cassette. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 01-256434 discusses a method in which to solve the above problem, an auto cassette change (ACC) function can automatically switch the sheet feeding destination to a sheet feeding cassette supplied with the same kind of sheets as the ...
